Shaquille O’Neal, one of the most dominant players in NBA history, has left his mark both on and off the basketball court. Shaq’s accomplishments put him among the greatest players in history. He is well known for his incredible physical power, rim-finishing prowess, and astute post-game skills. During his illustrious 19-year career, he won four NBA championships and garnered several individual awards, which helped him cement his reputation.

However, Shaq’s influence extended far beyond his performance on the court. He has consistently made news off the court since retiring from the NBA. Most recently, he teased a major announcement about his alternate career. However, what’s surprising about his alternate career is that it doesn’t help him with raking in the dough at all.

Shaquille O’Neal hints at an alternate career with his recent announcement

The 7’1″ behemoth O’Neal has made forays into other fields besides philanthropy and sports, including the world of electronic dance music, where he has achieved popularity as a skilled DJ. He tours around the world to entertain people with his mixing skills. However, what’s noteworthy is the fact that even though he puts in money to entertain, he makes no money from his gigs as a DJ. He does it purely because of his love for music!

Shaq performs under the alias ‘DJ Diesel’ and has electrified several music festivals. His passion for entertaining people and his love of music have inspired him to seek this specific form of self-expression. In fact, he set up a unique Instagram account for his musical persona where followers can see snippets of his DJing experiences.

Now, Shaquille O’Neal recently teased an exciting announcement about his alternate career.

Shaq shared that he has a huge announcement coming up under his DJ Diesel alter ego. He shared a story of his Instagram post with the caption, “major announcement coming TODAY at 12PM PST. i have been waiting to share this one for a long time. you won’t want to miss it😸🚨” Something big is surely in the works!

DJ Diesel then took to Instagram to reveal what the announcement was about.

DJ Diesel is coming back with new music. He released his latest single BANG YOUR HEAD with the artist Hairitage. Despite having been in production for more than 18 months, the song still has the same appeal and excitement it had in its first preview. Shaq also stunned the crowd by introducing Hairitage as a special guest during a DJ Diesel performance in San Marcos last year, sparking a flurry of excitement.
